💛 More Than a Market — Supporting Small Businesses & Nonprofits

Here’s something that makes Market 535 a little different…

We don’t just show up on event day.
We spend months promoting our vendors and sponsors leading up to every single market here in our hometown.

And something many people don’t realize:
We also reserve five vendor spaces at every event for nonprofits, civic organizations, and sometimes brand-new small businesses.

Those spots are donated by Market 535 to help:

• Raise awareness for important causes

• Support local organizations

• Give new businesses a chance to be seen

Because building up Dayton, Texas and the surrounding community is at the heart of everything we do.
